The popular Cuban musician Eduardo Antonio accompanied Jorge Junior, leader of the group Los 4, to pay tribute to El Taiger at the makeshift altar set up by his fans in front of the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where he passed away on Thursday.
The Divo of Placetas and El Taiger's cousin knelt in front of the candle display, where a Cuban flag waves above the photo of José Manuel Carbajal and a stuffed tiger.
"Rest in peace and may you find peace with your parents up in heaven. Here we will do the most beautiful things for you. Family is a cane that hunches over but does not break," said the singer based in Miami.
Jorge Junior arrived in the city in recent hours to arrange the transfer of El Taiger's remains to the island, so that he can rest alongside his parents and near where his daughters and the rest of the family live.
Considered the most important reggaeton artist of his generation, El Taiger died on Thursday after being shot in the head on October 4.
Jorge Junior will be the legal representative in all professional matters for El Taiger in the United States, and he has expressed excitement about the spontaneous tributes from his cousin's fans, also known as the Tranka de Cuba.
"I want everyone to know that I am here, in Miami. Do you understand? If I need to ask for any opinion, make any decision, I will reopen my Instagram and all of you will be witnesses. I am here," he said.
In his statements upon arriving in Miami last night, Jorge Junior said that he was the one who first brought El Taiger to the United States, and now it will be him who takes his ashes to Cuba.
"He is going with me to Havana. I brought him, I'm taking him. He will be cremated and will be next to his mom in Cuba," he explained.
Jorge Junior and El Taiger are cousins and also had a professional relationship when they worked together in Los 4. They went through difficult times, but they had managed to overcome their differences and were in an excellent moment of fraternal relationship.
This week, Eduardo Antonio had come out in defense of El Taiger and strongly responded to the unpleasant comments about his health by the influencer Alexander Otaola.
